REOLINK 4K/8MP Wired Security PoE IP Camera, Human/Vehicle/Pet Detection, Time-Lapse, 100ft IR Night Vision, Work with Smart Home, Up to 512GB microSD Card, Outdoor/Indoor Surveillance, RLC-810A

Great little camera so far. This is a good camera for a side yard, better than a dome camera if your side yard is narrow because a bullet camera can swivel to the side and point down the alley or side yard. The color is good, sharpness is good, infrared night vision is good. -- Setup was a snap. I installed an indoor/outdoor PoE switch in the garage so I only needed one hole in the wall to the outside for the Ethernet cable (I used Cat 7). I installed the camera under the roof eaves to protect it (remember to loosen the collar to aim the camera and then tighten it), plugged in the Ethernet cable that goes to the garage PoE switch (which is plugged into an AC outlet), went to my desktop (you can also do it on a phone or iPad), and ran the Reolink software. It scanned and found the camera right away, I gave it a password and a name and now I can see it together with images from cameras on the other side of the house. I didn't need PTZ for the side yard (it's narrow, so it wouldn't help much), so this is the right combination of features for this location. Happy with the purchase and the price was reasonable for the image quality and ease of installation .

This is my third set of security cameras for my home. I bought a camera system off Amazon that boasted a 12mp and able to reach with all the bells and whistles. DO NOT BE FOOLED!!! Even with Reolink claiming it’s a 8mp, this thing punches above its belt. It’s super clear and frame rates are as they claimed to be. I couldn’t be any happier. Reolink has been in two of my homes since the move. The old system stayed with the new owner as per request and they’re happy as well. Since the switch from another cheap company to Reolink, I’ve never been any happier!!! The trackmix actually works with NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. Other companies should learn from Reolink instead of pushing subscriptions to activate features promised in their descriptions (with no mention of needing subscriptions).

The camera is really functional and does what you want it to do. It picks up motion and you can prioritize recording. The instruction are super straight forward and there are a variety of camera that are compatible with the base. Running the Ethernet cables can be a bit cumbersome but in my experience it’s the best way to ensure connection. I wish you could communicate through the camera, but overall this is a great camera for the price especially if you get the bundle. It almost always goes on sale during holidays and especially Black Friday. If you want a camera system that works well and you can access remotely this is a great system.

I bought this 8 MP ( 4K) and also 5 MP camera. The resolution on this 4K is of course much clearer than th 5MP model ( which isn't too bad either ) All the other features are the same for both models. The following is the review I wrote for the 5 MP and is the same comments. The AI motion detection for vehicles works really well. I haven't adjusted it for people yet . The time lapse feature did not work with the Android Reolink app. I contacted tech support and they were very responsive. They had me try some older versions of app and send in some crash reports from app so their software engineers could evaluate. Ultimately they admitted there is some bug in the app that they will hopefully solve in next version. They said with Iphone app the time lapse works. I found it refreshing that a company actually responds and follows up on something like this. Otherwise the android and windows apps work fine at live viewing, viewing playback from the SD card, changing settings, and doing firmware updates. If you have the Windows app running you can have it save longer motion clips directly to your computer hard drive, take photo snapshots, and live video . I have two of the Reolink cameras and one of them I installed on a remote solar powered cart that views my garden. It is linked over a bridged router . I was surprised that the video quality and playback worked so well considering I used older routers. This remote system I powered with direct plugged in 12v. The other camera I am using POE on the internet cable. It is nice to have both options. I usually leave the infared LEDs off , but when they are on they light up a large area . Construction on this camera is solid and quality. This new version is super simple to set up the angle with just one tightening ring to tighten . But one of the rings on camera was so tight out of box I had to use a channel lock pliers to loosen it up. The other camera was able to be loosened by hand. So all in all good product and excellent support from company.

I used this camera to replace an existing street facing 4MP Reolink Camera. Although I am happy with my 4MP system overall, I wanted something a little bit clearer for this location, particularly at night. The swap was very easy as both cameras have the same mounting plate (holes line up), the same wire connection and the NVR auto-detected the new camera immediately. The 4K camera did not disappoint - both the day and night quality are significantly better and you get a slightly larger field of view. I have attached night time captures from both cameras for comparison. For the reasonable price, I am considering upgrading a few more and re-purposing the the 4MP cams for less critical duties. I did consider the 5MP version, but for only $15 more (at the time I purchased) and no real need to integrate with 3rd party software (more on that below), I thought It was worth going all the way, The motion detection appears similar to the 4MP versions, you have the same options to adjust the sensitivity and detection areas. Since this camera sees a lot of foot and vehicle traffic, I am not utilizing alerts, but the motion events are still helpful to narrow things down when playing back footage. For the advanced users, although there does not appear to be a way to integrate this camera fully with 3rd party apps/software (I believe you can with the 4/5MP versions) - I was able to get the below snapshot URL to work (loads a still snapshot from the camera each time your reload the page). This same URL also works for my 4MP cameras. http://<YOUR NVR'S LOCAL IP ADDRESS>/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=<CAMERA'S CHANNEL NUMBER ON NVR>&rs=fsj78fjkdf&user=<NVR USER NAME>&password=<NVR PASSWORD> (Replace the <CAPITALIZED TEXT> with your systems info - channel number should start with 0) This URL will only work in a web browser if you are connected to the same network as the the NVR. I am an avid DIYer but not a networking expert - im sure there is way to use port forwarding or some other method to accomplish this from outside your network, but that it outside my wheelhouse. With that said, I was able to add this camera to my Vera Edge home automation hub as a "Generic IP Camera using the above URL which does allow me to access the snapshots through the Vera interface and Imperihome locally or remotely. This also opens up the ability to add snapshots from the camera to notifications/scenes or have it auto-reload a new snapshot a set interval on a tablet based dashboard like Imperihome or SmartTiles. I did not test it on SmartThings or any other hub, but if it worked on Vera, I assume its possible on others as well. Long story short don't dismiss it completely if you only need partial smart home integration - the snapshot functionality can be very useful for door bell/door lock notifications or other connected system triggers beyond the native Reolink motion based alerts.

Great camera, just installed this morning.

I've tried a variety of cameras where this one now lives, until this camera they've been wireless. While they work most of the time, they disappear with unacceptable frequency. The best solution is wired, and POE is even better. My house is old and wiring changes are a challenge so getting an ethernet drop to where the camera is mounted was a challenge I procrastinated for a long time. Anyway, I have wire to the location where the camera goes. It's POE so getting it onto your network is easy. Outside of the need for network, nothing else has to go there. My switch supplies sufficient POE power so to get it on the network was as simple as plugging it in and letting it boot. Once it pulls an IP address, you'll need to use the Reolink app to set it up. This isn't hard and out of the box can record to an inserted SD card. I chose instead to use my Blue Iris computer to record from it and so you need to dive deeper into the settings to turn on the functions for that purpose. My thoughts on this camera so far are that I'll probably buy more for locations where a POE connection is available.

Very narrow field of view. No useful zoom. Constant alerts for nothing. A piece got jammed during set up which was a pain. Disappointed.

値段の割には画質いいです。

画像がきれい 夜間の赤外線ライト付きが有り難い。

今までのカメラが壊れたため、同じ様なものを探していました。 安くて性能が良すぎるのか今までサーバーとして使用していたパソコンでの録画がギリギリの状態のようです。 安い性能の良いサーバーがないか探してる状況です。

カメラ本体も設置も設定も全て満足しております。 私の場合は、マイクロSDカードの録画で使用をしているのですが、高耐久のマイクロSDカードの価格が、カメラ本体の価格と同じくらいでした。マイクロSDカードは高くなりましたね。カードは、AIとの相談を重ねながらキオクシアの緑色の高耐久の２５６GBにしました。カメラの動体検知も完璧です。耐久性は、先日、購入して設置をしたばかりなので不明です。動画視聴ソフトは少しだけ改善して頂きたい点はありますが、甘受できる範囲内です。

ルーター直下のpoeスイッチに接続して運用しています。 録画はモーション検知のみで検知はカメラ側で処理しています。 録画はRLN8-410とsynology surveillance stationで同時録画しています。 設定 解像度2560x1440 25fps 6144kbps synologyはrtspで安定して録画できています 異常過熱や異音等もありません。 sdカードを入れればカメラだけで完結します アプリも見やすくとてもよい 高性能で値段も安くおすすめです
